I do not commute but I am an engineer in the oil patch and I do go to the field from time to time and I make 2, 3 and 4 hour trips in which I listen to CNN or some of the other news stations. Plus, once I get out of town, FM and AM stations start getting interference, more when you are in the middle of nowhere, SAT Radio ? Crystal clear. I obviously take my favorite stations with me.
Once I get back to the office I take the radio with me and I plug it into the boombox by the window and bam ! Sat Radio in the office. Same goes for home.
I also get bored of the Ipods and my PSP. I have thousands of songs and I got bored !!!
Connect the Blackberry to the car ? A nightmare (I tried that on my 2007 F150) and I am tech savvy + My cellphone is that, a cellphone not a mini TV or an MP3 player. That is why I bought the Ipods and the PSP.
Podcasting ?, come on, where's the content ??? Plus I do not want to download 15 minute clips and then have to delete them, it is a pain.
